For these, I'd probably try a very soft pale blue, like cerulean with mixed with some white. Make it pale so that the figures themselves stand out and get the attention, not the background. <br /><br />Clara just needs a little shading in her hair. Raw sienna works well for blonde and then mix a lighter color of the yellow for a few highlights. That should tone down the yellow a bit. And don't forget to add some of the darker color to her eyebrows.Melisahttp://www.toadinaboat.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121433325705239293.post-64499082420352731282012-02-05T04:02:07.157-05:002012-02-05T04:02:07.157-05:00Hi Eva!
